How is the #EU going to replace US tech *quickly* without open source? Open source equivalents already exist and would take much less time to polish up than to recreate everything privately. And why would we do we need European tech billionaires, or any tech billionaires?

💥Breaking News! #Shopify, the puppeteer of the #Ruby world, just turned Ruby Central into its marionette, snagging #Bundler and #RubyGems like they were on a clearance sale. 🤡 Because nothing screams "community" quite like a corporation bulldozing its way into open source projects. 🎭

Today I decided to uninstall Windows in order to install #Debian in my senior laptop (an thinkPad w510 with 6Gb of RAM). This is my last step to erradicate all big tech from my life. I already had installed #Manjaro Xfce in other laptop.
However, I am still wondering: KDE, Gnome or Xfce?
Any advice?

PSA: Document your #OpenSource infrastructure!
I'm working with friends to rebuild the all-contributors bot maintainer team. We're discovering the hard way that accounts/workflows aren't documented.
If you're maintaining a project:
✅ Create DEVELOPMENT.md from day one
✅ Document all accounts & access
✅ Use shared accounts when possible
Future maintainers (or future you) will be grateful!
What undocumented gotcha have you hit in a project?

#BandwidthIsALIE - Our dearly beloved @mtaht and his #bufferbloat works mentioned on TikTok, by Alexander Gizis and #Speedify by #Connectify:

"Most people think faster internet means more #bandwidth, but that’s not always true. In fact, if your router has more memory, it can actually make your #latency worse. (...)
The late #DaveTaht, one of the pioneers in fighting bufferbloat, summed it up perfectly: “Bandwidth is a lie.” #FLOSS #OpenSource #Linux #OpenWrt #jitter
